-- Thinking of heading to the big Tom Petty/ZZ Top concert Sept. 16 at the St. Pete Times Forum? Live Nation is now offering a pretty nice deal: A four-pack of tickets for just $99. Click here to purchase.

-- It's shaping up to be quite a summer for St. Petersburg's Mighty Mongo. First they win a spot on the Warped Tour; then they go and win the Ritz Ybor's Battle of the Bands competition with covers of Elton John's Rocket Man and Aerosmith's Cryin' and Walk This Way. They'll get to open for a stylistically similar national band at the Ritz during an upcoming concert. Might we suggest Badfish: A Tribute to Sublimeon Nov. 12?
